Babies are 2 weeks old

the beautiful Irwin mango

today at two weeks old

the nest is so well hidden above the mango

at one week old look at them saying "feed me feed me"

The humming bird babies are now two weeks old and they are growing very quickly. Their bills are now taking shape and tiny feathers are replacing the downy covering they were born with. It seems that they are hungry all the time LOL.

Wow, you got some really great photos of the babies. Nice going. And the mango looks good enough to eat. I found a mockingbird's nest with babies in one of my pea trees but, it's so nestled inside the tree, I cannot get some good photos.

The Mango is an interesting variety for me; Pink mango is something i haven't seen earlier though Mangoes abound here.The way you've captured the humming baby beauties is breathtaking. It is an absolutely astounding job.

About Me

a self opinionated individual who speaks her mind on things that are important to her. I am Helen and I live in the north of Barbados in an old house that dates back to the early 1800's or more. I have been frantically gardening on 2.3 acres since 1996. I am married to a sweet guy called Chuck and we are the proud parents of a daughter, seven dogs and two lovebirds. My hubby is a retired teacher from Miami Florida and a wonderful human being. I was born on the island of Grenada and lived and attended Primary school in Trinidad and Tobago and later moved to Barbados in 1967 where I spent my adult years. I love to cook for company and adore a fusion of various cuisines. I speak some french with some degree of fluency having studied Pattern making in Paris many many moons ago. I work as a part time water garden consultant and my husband and I grow water lilies.
